Technically this is for the Q, but since the fitment should be the same-ish as a Z32 it should be good....

What kind of offset am i looking at to run a 9in wheel up front and a 10 out back....??? Id like to run a nice meaty tire, ideally like a 265 up front and like a 285 out back if possible, id settle for a 255/275 combo if I had to....

Fenders are already rolled...

What are you running right now (size + offset) front & rear? How much gap is there from wheel -> fender (outside) & wheel -> suspension (inside)? Do you mind running a lot of negative camber? Are you tucking the tires (i.e. bottom of fender below top of tire)?

If you answer those questions, you just answered your original question .

I know, sorry I can't be of more help, just post whorin a lil.

I figured out to run 10in on the rear your going to have to have at least 50mm offset... I compared them to my 350Z track wheels which are 8.5s with 33mm and they rub with 255s... which the extra width moves me in about an inch, which I definitely have that to spare...
